Important Note:

We strongly recommend to all the participants do a COVID test before traveling to Leh ladakh or any other long tour.

We also recommend to all the participants to give the RT-PCR test not less than 96 hours before the travel and carry COVID negative certificates with them.

Doing a test strongly reduces the probability of participants coming to the mountains as asymptomatic carriers. It makes it a lot safer for all the participants and staff in the team.

Each member of the group (participants/leaders/ clients & staff) wears protective masks while interacting with each other. Do carry few unused, disposable masks.

It is strongly recommended to wear caps, full sleeves shirts and full trousers and shoes for adventure activities. It reduces exposure to your body parts.

It should be ascertained from the participants that they are not residing / have not traveled in a containment zone and have not come in contact with any person who was tested positive in the last 14 days.

Ascertain whether any participant has any symptoms of Influenza-like illness (ILI) like fever, dry cough, weakness, severe body ache, etc. at the time of the beginning of the activity. If it is so, then he/she should be asked not to participate in the activity and be evacuated on medical grounds and should be asked to report to the local health authority with his own expenses.

Strictly avoid eating gutkha, pan masala, cigarettes, or sniffing, which induces spitting, coughing, or sneezing.

Avoid touching external surfaces and touching your face when outdoors.

If the location of your adventure activity is too crowded, then be prepared to leave or wait for the crowd to disperse/for your turn.

It is mandatory that a participant inform the organizers if he tests positive for COVID within 14 days of returning from an adventure activity. It will help the organizers to inform and alert all other persons in the group so that they can follow the medical/government norms in this regard. Here it is absolutely essential that the participant observes transparency and informs the organizers/group leaders about his Covid test results.
